Howard Gardner

• Howard Gardner of Harvard University has
  identified different KINDS of intelligence we
  possess. This has particularly strong
  ramifications in the classroom, because if we can
  identify children's different strengths among
  these intelligences, we can accommodate different
  children more successfully according to their
  orientation to learning.

Multiple Intelligences

• Linguistic intelligence ("word smart")
• Logical-mathematical intelligence
  ("number/reasoning smart")
• Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
• Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
• Musical intelligence ("music smart")
• Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
• Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
• Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart)

9
Linguistic intelligence ("word smart")

• These learners process what they are learning
  through the words surrounding them. The
  opportunity to explore their world through their
  own words and through the words of other learners
  they can clarify their new learning as it relates
  to what they already know.

  learners see connections between the material
  being taught and what they already understand.

  connections by acting things out, building 3D
  models, and creating a movie to represent what

  education. Take a simple innovation like the
  pencil One can use it to write a superlative
  essay, to drum away the time, or to poke out
  someones eye.
